Abstract (en)

A generic management framework for a network management system enables management services and management agents to be added in use as required. Management services can be loaded or plugged into the framework dynamically. As a result a management structure can be provided which is scalable and dynamic and can evolve as requirements change. Management information is modelled as management beans. Network management adaptors can also be added as required to the framework to support protocols such as HTTP, SSL, RMI, SNMP. Remote applications can thereby control the management beans remotely through different protocols. <IMAGE>
